I have spent a lot of time thinking about AMD's
current strategy of node migration, and how their products have typically
reacted to these changes. While the latest 65 nm products have left some a
bit confused when it comes to overall performance, there appears to be very
good reasons for the types of products we are seeing. Here is a quote:
So how exactly is AMD able to compete with Intel from a
manufacturing standpoint when Intel started transitioning to 65 nm over a
year ago, and currently have three full Fabs running at 65 nm? AMD has
pursued a surprisingly simple yet far flung plan to leverage its experience
with others to hopefully produce a world class 65 nm process.
